ROMEO AND JULIET

Written by William Shakespeare Brant Russell, director “For never was a story of more woe than this of Juliet and her Romeo.” William Shakespeare’s legendary tale of young love and bitter hatred returns to the CCM stage like you’ve never seen it before. Witness the deadly feud between the Montagues and Capulets in this subversive retelling of the Bard’s iconic story. It’s a comedy… until it’s not. Thursday, Sept. 29 at 8 p.m. Friday, Sept. 30 at 8 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 1 at 2 and 8 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 2 at 2 p.m. Patricia Corbett Theater MUSICAL THEATRE

A CHORUS LINE

Conceived and originally directed and choreographed by Michael Bennett Book by James Kirkwood Jr. and Nicholas Dante Music by Marvin Hamlisch Lyrics by Edward Kleban Diane Lala, director and choreographer Roger Grodsky, musical director A nine-time Tony Award-winner, and one of the longest running productions in Broadway history, A Chorus Line tells a strikingly honest tale about the backstage world of musical theatre as 17 dancers vie to make the final cut for the latest smash hit. As the auditions proceed, the diverse backgrounds and motivations of the hopefuls come to the fore, revealing stories that run the gamut of human experience and emotion as they all compete with and learn about one another. It is a process that will change them all forever… for better or worse. A Pulitzer Prize-winning fusion of dance, song and drama, A Chorus Line is a powerful metaphor for all human aspiration.

OPERA

CENDRILLON (CINDERELLA)

Composed by Jules Massenet Libretto by Henri Caïn Mark Gibson, conductor Robin Guarino, director One of the world’s most beloved fairy tales comes to the CCM stage in a new modernist production!

The poor girl meets Prince Charming and they fall in love. When the clock strikes 12, though, she vanishes… leaving only a single shoe behind. Jules Massenet’s elegant score brings wit and charm to this timeless romance based on Charles Perrault’s telling of the Cinderella fairy tale. This production is sung in French with English supertitles. Thursday, Nov. 17 at 8 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 19 at 8 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 20 at 2 p.m. Corbett Auditorium DANCE

CCM’S MAINSTAGE SERIES ACTING

HER NAKED SKIN

Written by Rebecca Lenkiewicz Richard Hess, director London 1913. Women are demanding the right to vote. Thousands of suffragettes of all classes serve time in Holloway Prison in their determination to gain equality through the vote. Their willingness to suffer for social injustice serves as the backdrop for an unlikely love story set in a period of turmoil. Described by the Independent as “a great drama about women, by a woman,” Her Naked Skin premiered to great acclaim at London’s National Theatre in 2008. By exploring the hunger for political and personal emancipation, this play plants a defiant feminist flag center stage. This production contains adult themes and is not recommended for young audiences. Thursday, Feb. 9 at 8 p.m. Friday, Feb. 10 at 8 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 11 at 2 and 8 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 12 at 2 p.m. Patricia Corbett Theater MUSICAL THEATRE

MACK AND MABEL

Based on an idea by Leonard Spigelglass Book by Michael Stewart Music and lyrics by Jerry Herman Aubrey Berg, director William Evan Roider, musical director Patti James, choreographer Set against the madcap world of Keystone Kops, Bathing Beauties and pies-in-the-face, the tumultuous relationship between workaholic film director Mack Sennett and his silent-screen star Mabel Normand was the stuff of Hollywood legend. With a memorable score by Broadway master Jerry Herman (Hello, Dolly!, Mame, La Cage aux Folles), Mack and Mabel is a star-crossed, bittersweet love story that explores both the lighter and the darker side of the Golden Age of Comedy. Nominated for eight Tony Awards, Mack and Mabel was praised by the New York Times as “a musical in the old and true tradition.” Thursday, March 2 at 8 p.m. Friday, March 3 at 8 p.m. Saturday, March 4 at 2 and 8 p.m. Sunday, March 5 at 2 p.m. Corbett Auditorium Photo Credit: Mark Lyons

OPERA

IDOMENEO

Composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Libretto by Giambattista Varesco (after Antoine Danchet) Aik Khai Pung, conductor Marcus Shields, director Set in the aftermath of the Trojan War, Mozart’s opera seria weaves a tale of gods and monsters, unrequited love and selfless heroism. During his perilous journey back to Greece after years at war, King Idomeneo pledges to sacrifice the first mortal he finds to Neptune in exchange for a safe journey home. When that mortal turns out to be his son Idamante, Idomeneo struggles to find another way to appease the gods, which creates dire repercussions for the people of Crete. Completed in 1780 when the composer was only 24 years old, Idomeneo is widely considered the first of Mozart’s great operas and remains a favorite of opera houses around the world. This production is sung in Italian with English supertitles. Thursday, March 30 at 8 p.m. Friday, March 31 at 8 p.m. Saturday, April 1 at 8 p.m. Sunday, April 2 at 2 p.m. Patricia Corbett Theater DANCE
